Chef Kim Hoon's run on Netflix's Culinary Class Wars season 2 and his win on the cooking show Street Restaurant Fighter in 2026 put this long-running Yongridan-gil favorite back on everyone's list.
SAM SAM SAM serves what it calls San Francisco home cooking, and the Yongsan original is one of the busiest tables in Yongridan-gil. The chef, Kim Hoon, appeared on season 2 of Netflix's Culinary Class Wars under the nickname 'Trend King', then won the Korean cooking competition Street Restaurant Fighter in 2026, and the restaurant marked the win with a new lasagna. The room is bright and playful, with an open kitchen, a small terrace and an 'Enjoy here' mood. The dish most people come for is the jambon-beurre pasta, a buttery, salty take on the French ham-and-butter sandwich that earned the restaurant a TV 'master' segment back in 2022. The California-style lasagna is rich and layered, the pumpkin gnocchi is soft and chewy under a creamy sauce, and the steak with fries is the shared main for groups. The rolled lasagna from the TV show has appeared only in limited sets, so ask before you set your heart on it. Prices at this branch are lower than at the newer Jamsil and Gwanghwamun locations.
